FORD = found on road dead

Ah yes, good morning. We have two new fresh inches of powder. The sidewalks are powder/packed powder, The main street is slushy, and all chairs are open for your winter enjoyment.
So yes, we got some snow. Its nice. Makes everything all white. Take a picture it wont last long.
It was sunny mostly all week, but windy and cold. I went to PCC yesterday, they had a financial aid day for students. I was talking with an adviser about the welding program, there are scholarships to be had out there. I went to an Oregon Student Assistance Program grant seminar at the same time. You know how you always here about the 'Ford Foundation' on npr, well that is a family that lives in Roseburg that owns a lumber company that has set up a foundation to give scholarships to students. They have this thing called the ford re-start grant. It pays for 90% of your schooling if you are 25 or older and picking a new career or getting a 2 certificate in say........welding. So that
is pretty cool. So having my schooling paid for would be great. This year is going to be Hella expensive with some other stuff that is going to happern.
